据英国网站Guardian.co.uk报道:爱尔兰一个行踪神秘的女人凯茜·科尔尼是库克办公室背后的大脑,她已经帮助苹果拯救以亿计的利润。苹果最近被指逃税,甚至苹果CEO蒂姆·库克也被请到了国会。库克在听证会上称,苹果实际上是美国最大纳税大户外,国会所指责的行为只是苹果的合理避税而已。苹果行为的确合法。多少年来,很多公司采用这样或那样的“避税港”方式,使税收资金尽量不要那么惊人,但苹果的问题是:它采用的手段已经高明到超越大部分人想象。 According to a British site Guardian.co.uk: Kathy Kearney, a mysterious woman in Ireland, is the brain behind Cook’s office and she has helped Apple save billions of dollars in profits. Apple was recently accused of tax evasion, and even Apple CEO Tim Cook was invited to parliament. At the hearing, Cook said that Apple is actually the largest U.S. taxpayer and that the accusations of Congress are just Apple’s reasonable tax avoidance. Apple’s behavior is indeed legal. For years, many companies have adopted “one or more” “tax haven” forms of tax avoidance so that tax revenues should not be as stagnant as possible. However, Apple’s problem is that the means it uses have been clever beyond most people’s imagination.
